so i got my head back together (note to you guys this is not my built CA this is for my 180sx…the daily driver) so anyways i outfitted the ca head with a nice resurface and hot tank…it got new seals all around and got HKS cams and Gears…valves where re seated with just a bit of lapping compound and everything went in smoothly…also i polished my valve covers to a brilliant finish!

i will have more randome pics of this random rebuild…i have the block aswell just need my new main and rod bolts!
